Lyric

This album, titled THE SOUL, is the culmination of DJ KANJI's work and the official album announcing the beginning of a new chapter.

It features "Celebrate" (featuring MIKADO and Tete), released in 2025; "Be Alone" (featuring SWEE, BANNY BUGS, and HIYADAM); the lead single "Money Up" (featuring 7 and Eyden [98jams]); and "Win Wing" (featuring Harka, Only U, and Tofu). DJ Kanji has continuously released buzzworthy tracks. Solidifying his presence as a producer, he is finally releasing his long-awaited second album.

It features "Love Myself", which welcomes Kaneee, who rose to fame after appearing on "Rap Star Birth" in 2023, and continues to rise, as well as Masato Hayashi, the Hachioji rapper who gained attention as a finalist on "RAPSTAR 2025." The album also boasts unmissable tracks like "Decoboko Friends" featuring ENEL and LJ, which depicts real street friendships, and "DAILY" featuring DJ KANJI, G.O.D., and M.O.J.I.

Also included are "6 AM" featuring Elle Teresa, thepini, and DJ Norio, a remix of a track by Elle Teresa, who is gaining attention as a next-generation pop icon; and "Bad Trip," featuring Dexus Ogawa from Asahikawa and Myskinteriyaki, who commands attention with his unique flow and powerful punchlines. This genre-spanning sound adds depth to the album.

Furthermore, the album incorporates tracks that continue the narrative of the previous work, THE VOICE. These include "Interlude" by Woody, who continues to create viral hits on TikTok and social media, and "Just as You Are" featuring Hiiragito, whose warm vocals and relatable lyrics have garnered support.

DJ KANJI is one of Japan's premier DJs and producers, as well as the CEO of Ovahead Records. "THE SOUL" is his magnum opus, distilling everything he's cultivated since his teens and honed through years of live DJing for countless artists.

This album features a stellar lineup of guests and is set to stir up a fresh breeze in the Japanese hip-hop scene.
